Abstract: Is the vastness of territory a necessary attribute of imperialism? Is an empire simply a larger kingdom? By reworking the interventions presented at the scientific conference held at Maison Française in Oxford in June 2018, this book critically examines the connections established since the Middle Ages between the concept of an empire and its geographical manifestation. Specifically, it reflects upon the relationship between imperial political rationality and territorial configuration through a selection of case studies derived from the realms of Sicily, France, Hungary, Spain, and England.
